In The End…it’s all about the chick
As this year comes to a close, I’m reminded by my daily wakeup hug that this has been a monumental year of my life. It felt like suffering for a few months in the spring, but it ended up being a year to remember.
I’ve never felt more confident. More whole. Every morning, I approach the day on a mission. Aiming higher, seeing clearer, reminding myself on a regular basis what was and what can be….and it is all due to the chick. Who knew that the secret to life was the chick. I’ve had a few relationships in my life, but this one makes me better. I feel the difference in my stride, my pride, and the way that I feel about the future. And the main reason…the happiness of the chick.
The best part of being in a successful relationship is the transformation in your outlook. I used to sleep late, now I want to get up early. I want to pick her up from work every day because I can’t wait to hear about her day. I love seeing her come around the corner of my showroom and walk in because she is my home. She’s sexy, smart, empathetic, amazing, and mine. The parade of losers that came before make me wonder where my expectations were. I was settling for Pintos, passing on Ferraris, and losing my license to drive. Now, I’ve got a luxury electric car that handles like a Rolls.
Confidence is a funny thing. It can be so fleeting. You can spend a long time looking at the ground. It can be amazing when you start looking towards the sky. And the enzyme can come from the funniest place. Quite often…it’s all about the chick.
I love you bubs. Thanks for a great year and reminding how to dream big.
Making the most of Youtube – My new hobby
I’ve recently become obsessed with watching Youtube versions of songs that I love…done by ordinary folks.
It seems to be a phenomenon of sorts on youtube. “I’ve got a guitar, I want to be a star, I have a dubious level of talent…so….I’m going to post a video of myself singing a song and let the chips fall where they may”. It is an interesting choice made by these folks and I give them credit for bravery.
However, it is a dark and sometimes eerie world that these videos represent. Some of them almost seem desperate. Some are quite good. A few of them are hilariously awful. It is fun to check them out. Pick a song that you love…type it into Youtube and find the most interesting version.
I love this song by Freedie Johnston. There are a range of horrible versions of this on Youtube. However, I thought that this one was interesting. So many questions about this video. For instance, why the shades??? You sir, are no Lou Reed. I liked the fact that the guy didn’t have the energy to hang up his clothing before showing us his laundry on video. He does stray a bit from the basic tune and gives the song a bit of a Christian rock flourish, but he’s not bad. The slow section at the beginning was very dramatic. Lighting is always a problem with these videos and this one is no exception. I imagine that this guy has either a hydroponic lab in his basement or will be going to his job at Best Buy after this performance. Props to him for the effort. And I hope that he soon does some laundry so that he can close his door and do more.
Freedie Johnston “Bad Reputation” as performed by this guy.
Happy Holidays to Everyone
I’m tired. Is it over yet?
